Institute of Internal Auditors Canada National Conference Underway

MONTREAL, Sept. 24, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - More than 500 professionals have
gathered for the fifth National Conference of the Institute of Internal
Auditors (IIA) Canada from September 23 to 26 at the Hotel Hyatt
Regency in Montréal. Coming from a variety of backgrounds including
internal auditing, risk management, governance, internal control,
information technology, education and security, they are here to
discuss pertinent issues and discover new developments in their fields.

Participants have four days of programming to experience, including
special pre- and post-conference workshops, concurrent and plenary
sessions, and more. "Internal auditing has achieved newfound significance over the past

importance to our work so the IIA Conference is an ideal opportunity to
get up to date and share knowledge with our colleagues," explains Alphonse Galluccio, an associate at BDO Canada and co-chair of
the 2012 Conference.

"The members of our conference committees, all Québec professionals from
a number of large-scale enterprises, have devoted months to developing
a program that will have something to intrigue all delegates, no matter
what their interests," adds Roger Martel, Vice-President Internal Audit, at Québecor Media
Inc. and co-chair of the 2012 Conference.
